What covert government group is targeting Malaysia and why?

First someone hijacks and steals Malaysia Flight 370, with everyone on-board kidnapped and removed to an undisclosed location. Now, yet another Malaysian passenger plane has been shockingly blasted out of the sky by a ground-to-air heat seeking missile. Why is Malaysia being singled out, and by who?

A passenger plane which crashed as it flew over eastern Ukraine with 295 people on board was reportedly shot down. The Malaysia Airlines plane, which was flying from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur, was travelling at an altitude of 33,000 feet (10,000 metres) when it was shot down, Russia's Interfax reported.

An adviser to the Ukrainian interior ministry told the news agency the Boeing 777 was brought down by a Buk ground-to-air missile.

All 280 passengers and 15 crew members who were on the plane are believed to have died, he added.A spokesman for Malaysian Airlines, still reeling from the loss of flight MH370 in March, confirmed it had lost contact with flight MH17, which took off from Amsterdam at 12.15pm local time.

The flight disappeared from radar as it flew over Ukrainian airspace, the spokesman said.
